Summary

This study sought to assess the impact of the MMR service on identifying and resolving TRPs, improving adherence, depression and anxiety scores in females diagnosed with depression and anxiety in Jordan

Detailed description

Participants were recruited into this single-blind parallel randomized controlled trial and randomized into active and control groups. A clinical pharmacist identified TRPs for all participants. Adherence, depression and anxiety scores were assessed. Active group patients received the MMR service: pharmacist-delivered counseling and a letter with recommended changes in the patient's treatment plan was sent to the patient's psychiatrist to be applied. Control group participants did not receive the intervention. Follow-up assessments were completed for all patients at 3 months from baseline. Main outcome measures were TRPs, adherence, depression and anxiety scores.
